FAQ about this model
What is the rated capacity of the PT050 push trolley?
It is rated for 5 tons, or 10,000 lbs. That rating applies to the total weight carried by the trolley — the hoist, rigging, and the load together — not the load alone, so add those up before you buy. The beam it runs on must also be rated for the same combined load.
How is the trolley moved along the beam?
By hand. The PT050 is a manual push trolley, so an operator moves the load along the beam by pushing it; there is no hand chain or motor drive. Nothing has to be wired or plumbed to use it. In exchange, travel depends on operator effort, so it works best over short, occasional moves.
Will it fit the beam I already have?
It fits a wide range of beam flange widths, set with a threaded shaft adjusted using an Allen bit. The specifications do not list the exact flange width or thickness range for the PT050, so measure your beam and confirm the figures with Bison Lifting before ordering. Beam adjustment is done at installation and does not require special tooling beyond the Allen bit.
What safety features does it have, and what standard does it meet?
It uses drop-protect side plates, which are designed to keep the trolley on the beam if a wheel leaves the running surface. Bison lists the trolley as compliant with ASME B30.11, the American Society of Mechanical Engineers standard covering monorails and underhung cranes. No other certifications are listed in the product data for this model.
What warranty comes with it?
Bison Lifting warrants the PT050 for 12 months. The product data states the length only and does not detail what is covered or excluded, so review the written warranty terms for specifics. Regardless of coverage, regular inspection of the wheels, side plates, and beam adjustment hardware is normal practice for trolleys kept in service.
When is a push trolley the wrong choice?
When the operator cannot safely reach and push the load. Push trolleys suit short beam runs, low-frequency moves, and loads at working height. For long spans, repetitive daily cycles, or loads carried well overhead, a geared or motorized trolley gives better control. The PT050 does offer low headroom, which helps where beam-to-hook clearance is tight.
